Have any of you built a system lately?
I'm upgrading a ATX case which now has a old 750mhz in it.
I'm looking for a processor mobo combo. I don't need the fastest thing out there. I saw a Intel dual core for $969. Way to much for a cpu.
I'm leaning to one New Egg had for $89. It's a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2.2GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor. I'm sure it would be plenty fast for my new Linux test server. ASUS has a mobo for $112 that matches up to the processor or Biostar has one for $79 which doesn't look to bad.
I haven't priced memory yet.
I plan to use the same CD's (1 RW & 1R only), disk drives & floppy drive.
Any ideas?
